NomadNavyNurse ASN, RN

Hello all, Has anyone had experience going to Navy ODS as a prior service member? I'm asking specifically because I want to know if it's okay to bring uniform items that you already own to ODS instead of re-purchasing them there? I'm talking about it...

Kouklitsa27, The NCP requires you to have at least 6 months left in your BSN program when you apply. The board doesn't start accepting applications until September/October, which would leave you with less than the required time in your program.

Hi druclair, I am currently in the Navy's NCP and I am also prior enlisted, so I can help answer a few of your questions. Where do you get assigned? To a base or hospital?: You will be assigned to a hospital that is located on a base. Bases are like...

Thank you SnakeEyes!

Mrs. Weddle, I applied for a VA position in June, got called back for an interview in August and didn't get a job offer until October, which I refused because I had already accepted another position by then. Hope you don't have to wait much longer t...

Coast2coast, Is getting an "early out" an option for you? I was able to separate early, earn my ADN, and I'm now in an online BSN program waiting to commission into the Navy Nurse Corps through the NCP.

Pkng, I just PMed you.

I would call him ASAP!

I'm in, I'm in, I'm in!!! Just got the phone call this morning from my recruiter and it seems that happycoma was right. My recruiter said this was the official notice and I'll get an information packet about signing in, etc. next week after the holid...

I hope no news is good news. I haven't heard anything from my recruiter. I know it's just the professional recommendation and not the official results, but having to wait until Monday? Ugh!

Tomorrow!??! I can't wait! Good luck everyone :)

nursesabina, I just got hired at a correctional facility in Arizona and I'm a new grad with no RN experience, so it can happen.

mwaits081, You probably don't need another person telling you the same thing that everyone else has said, but I recently (1 month ago) spoke with an Army Healthcare recruiter and can verify that everything that everyone has said so far is true. The ...

Hello fellow NCP applicants! I just finished my applicant and barely got it complete before the Wednesday deadline. The application process was an intense whirlwind, my recruiters may have broken a record for putting my kit together in such a short t...

Asiangal, I know it's been a while since anyone has posted on this thread, but I'm curious to see if you accepted the job in Arizona?

Hi all! I have been looking at getting into the Navy as a nurse for a while now, but I'm still waiting to finish my RN to BSN. Seeing as how difficult it is to get into any branch right now as a nurse, I thought it would be a good idea to also get i...

AspiringNurse19, Just to be clear, all military branches have two routes you can go, commissioned officer and enlisted. The enlisted route does not require a 4-year degree. Hospital Corpsman is an enlisted rate (job). That means they are NOT an offi...

Inspiredbynavy, Don't know if you were able to read my post in the other thread about online degrees, but it would seem that the board decides whether they are accepting online degrees or not. It all depends on how selective they are being at the ti...

Hi everyone, I am set on applying for the Navy NCP next year after I finish my ADN and start my BSN. I have read in this forum that some recruiters are saying that online degrees are not accepted. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Thanks!

So I think the final word on whether the Navy accepts online degrees is...it depends on the board. Sometimes the board is accepts kits from applicants with online degrees, and when it's more competitive, they don't. It all depends on when you apply. ...

Thanks Elisabethm! I too keep hearing about October boards, but from reading between the lines, I'd have to say there is a board held in the spring time as well. I'm really hoping there's one!

Elisabethm, So did you submit your package for the October boards, or is there a board that meets in spring as well? I am starting my package right now and I know there is no way I will meet the deadline for package submission for the October board...

BOSS Man, I went to Excelsior's website and noticed they are not CCNE accredited which means the Navy won't accept the degree. The Navy website doesn't say anything about NLNAC accreditation, and I don't know about other branches.

Nurse2033, what branch are you in?
